Comment:
Operating system updates over Tor are the main reason that transparent
proxying is not recommended -- automatic update installers are likely to
leak information about the software they are trying to update, whether due
to malicious design or due to lack of consideration for users' location
privacy.
Also, this is not a ‘defect’, ‘critical’, or an issue to be addressed by
changing ‘Tor Client’. Try tor-talk or IRC.
